Michigan ACO Doubles In Size

Almost 3,000 Michigan doctors have joined the Physician Organization of Michigan (POM) ACO, LLC.

In a statement announcing the increase in providers, the University of Michigan Health System said the move more than doubles the size of POM ACO, which was launched in January 2013 as a joint venture of the U-M Health System and eight other physician groups. The new members include physicians from groups that had not previously taken part in an ACO  including MidMichigan Health, which is affiliated with UMHS.
